(RANCHO CUCAMONGA) - With over 42 participants playing in the first "Unsigned Showcase" at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, all the players fought thru the extreme heat and humidity and played an outstanding baseball. In game one, the Blue team got on the board first when MVP Zach Baker lined a triple into the right center gap. Don Bosco Tech catcher Adrian Martinez quickly doubled to get Baker across for the first run. The Blue Team scored their second run of the game when Valencia HS outfielder Michael Scott Jr. doubled, Josh Larson of Huntington Beach would knock in Scott on another double. David Piriano of Eastside Christian HS and Crispin Tarango of Diamond Bar HS would team up to put another run across with back to back doubles.

Armando Gallardo made some outstanding defensive plays going to his right and going up the middle for 6-3 put outs as he earned the Defensive Player award.

Dominic Ackerman from Poway high school scored their first run for the red team in the fifth inning with a double. Ackerman would see smack another double and also scored the second run for the red team on a RBI single by Joseph Caporuscio of Santa Margarita high school. Final Score Game 1: BR Blue 3, BR Red 2

In the final second game it was shortened to six innings of baseball. With outstanding pitching from Zach Richmond (Chino Hills HS) of the red team, he allowed only 1 hit over 2 innings. Matt Rudebusch for the blue team (Moorpark HS) would counter by striking out one batter and not allowing any hits over his 2 innings of work. The game would end in a 3-3 tie.
